Dangaboy Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hi All, Well only a plant based vegan for around 3 weeks. Decided that I need to get off my ass and do something. On 9 different prescribed medications per day. My first goal is to do a marathon in early November 2013 and then the big one: Comrades next year. (http://www.comrades.com/) Looking forward to learn from the forum. Stats:Weight - 115kg (254 pounds)1.8 m tallBMI of around 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Wow, what a great goal! As a runner myself I am familiar with Comrades, in fact I was listening to one of the Talk Ultra podcasts last week and they had Bruce Fordyce talking about the race, that guy is a living legend and truly inspirational. All the best with your goals, hopefully you can start up a training journal so we can all follow along with your progress. I'm sure you will settle in really quickly here, it's a great community full of friendly people MF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangaboy Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Thanks MF! Yeah Bruce is a living legend in the sport. I have met him a few times. Very nice guy and always helpful! I will start a log under running. What started me to get back into running after many years was reading the book from Scott Jurek. Also a serious legend in my book. Currently busy with Rich Rolls book. Starting with my marathon training program on Monday! Let the fun begin!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Sounds like you are reading some good books, I am reading Jurek's one at the moment and Roll's is next for me to read! You'll probably also like a book by a guy named Marshall Ullrich, he ran across the States. That was a cool read! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
